Judge dismisses X lawsuit accusing advertisers of illegal boycott (www.reuters.com)

Surprising exactly no one, "a U.S. judge on Thursday dismissed X Corp's antitrust lawsuit ​that accused the World Federation of Advertisers and major ‌companies including Mars, CVS Health (CVS.N), and Colgate-Palmolive (CL.N), of illegally boycotting billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s social media company. U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle in the federal ​court in Dallas said, X failed to show it had ​suffered any harm under federal antitrust laws."

While I'm sure Elon would have preferred to win this, the chilling effect from filing this suit in the first place was probably a good enough win for him anyway.

[edit: removed 'opens new tab' stuff from copy-paste]

I'm not a bot?

You have some text originally hidden in the article in your copy paste of the text of the article (for example ", opens new tab"). That could lead people to think your a bot that is blindly copying and pasting.
